Product Updates (Release Notes) 2025

New in this release  🚀

Administrative 📄

Visibility of Tenant Configurations

This release introduces a new administrator dashboard that enhances visibility into tenant configurations. It provides a curated view of tenant settings, including descriptions, default values, and tenant-specific values, addressing the previous lack of insight into on-demand offerings. This update improves transparency by allowing customers to easily view their configurations and discover configurations that are available but not yet in use.

The first version of the overview will be available starting January 20th. The dashboard will be available as an on demand feature, please contact Service Desk to activate.

For more information, refer to our help documentation. 

Org Units (Closed Beta)

We are excited to announce the closed beta of enhanced Org Unit management, now available to select customers. Administrators can now create and modify Org Units, manage user assignments, and link assessments and content directly, without needing Inspera’s service desk support. This feature is available to the "Adminstrator" role, with a new standard user role coming soon. Interested customers can contact their Account Manager for participation in closed beta. 

Administrators can now:

• Create and manage your organization structure.
• Search Org Units by name or ID.
• Access Org Unit IDs for updates using API.
• Link users and resources to Org Units.
• View users and resources assigned to each Org Unit.
• Access detailed resource lists linked to Org Units.
• Edit Org Unit details like Name and External ID.
• Hide Org Units to park for audit or block further resource assignments. 

The new org units interface (closed beta) will be available as an on demand feature, please contact Service Desk to activate.

Rebranding - Inspera Resilience Proctoring

Next month we will share details about a new suite of Inspera proctoring products, including Inspera Live Proctoring.

In preparation, this month we have officially changed the name of our existing remote proctoring product to Inspera Resilience Proctoring. You will see this new name reflected in the test setup settings, the proctoring admin header (see below), and Help Center articles. No candidate-facing changes to the product will be made as part of this rebranding.

If you use Inspera Resilience Proctoring, please consider any updates you may need to make to your internal documentation to incorporate this new product name.

Grade (Marking 2.0) 💯

Bulk Upload of Explanations

We’re excited to introduce an expansion of Inspera's current offline capabilities, empowering graders to not only grade and mark, but also provide explanations to candidates offline. 

Graders can now download either of two Excel files—“Marks and Explanations as Excel” or “Grades and Explanations as Excel”- both of which include a new "Explanations" column. These files, which previously supported updating marks and grades (existing on demand functionality), now also allow the inclusion of explanations. Once modified, the files can be uploaded back into Inspera, where marks or grades, and explanations are automatically synchronized according to predefined rules. Users are shown success notifications, error alerts, and links to documentation for troubleshooting.

For more details, please refer to help documentation. 

Marks by section display in UI

The section header of the candidate performance data table now has an improved format to display:

• The number of questions per section
• Marks awarded by section ("Marks: {awarded marks} out of {max marks by section}")

Both planner and grader user roles can find this data table in the Candidate in Focus workspace  and the Results view of the Grading overview workspace (Results view option requires activation). The updated section header helps provide a clearer overview of the section of an assessment.

Inspera Integrity Browser 🖥️

Inspera Integrity Browser 1.16.6  for MacOS 15

Inspera Integrity Browser is now supported on the latest macOS 15, providing users with enhanced compatibility and a more seamless experience for secure assessments.

Inspera Originality 🕵️

Bulk Upload Functionality - Subjects, Educators, Students 

Administrators in Inspera Originality can now easily add units in bulk through a streamlined process. This is made possible by the bulk upload functionality, which enables administrators to upload subjects, educators, and students in bulk. 

Each unit features a dedicated interface for bulk uploads, allowing administrators to upload subjects, educators, and students separately, with each category using its own individual Excel file upload to facilitate the bulk upload.

Administrators can also manage bulk uploads before finalizing the registration of  units, enabling them to edit each entry in the bulk upload as necessary. This ensures that potential errors in the Excel file are addressed before proceeding with the bulk registration of units. 

Thresholds for Exact Match, Altered Text, and Contextual Similarity 

In addition to the Contextual Similarity threshold, Inspera Originality now includes configurable thresholds for Exact Match and Possibly Altered Text classifications. This enhancement offers greater flexibility, enabling institutions to tailor the originality-checking process further. Furthermore, threshold configuration has been updated with a redesigned interface featuring sliders, providing an improved and more intuitive user experience.
